"Cephalus Grieving over the Dying Procris", c. 1610
by Abraham Janssens
(1575-1632) - Ringling Art Museum, Sarasota, Florida, USA.
From an episode in Ovid's "Metamorphoses". The death of Procris is attributed to the jealousy of Cephalus.
Note: Deadly hunting.
Note that Janssens competed with his Flemish compatriot Reubens in the production of large scale paintings using ideas from classic mythology. See another example "Jupiter rebuked by Venus".
